Power Up

For The Guardian’s lifestyle section, Cat Sims reframes the editorial through an everyday superhero.

Working in her retro comic-book style, Cat gives the piece a strong sense of movement and urgency, creating a heightened, playful world that suits the feature’s title, Power Up!

Made for an article exploring power as the ability to generate force quickly, the illustration connects fitness to everyday actions like jumping, or reacting fast.

Cat’s illustration adds a sharp, energetic note to a familiar conversation around staying active for longer, framing strength and movement as part of everyday life.
